What is wrong with the statement, "nonpolar molecules must always be composed of nonpolar bonds?"
Nonpolar Molecules
Molecules that have an even distribution of electrons, resulting in no permanent dipole moments, and typically exhibit little to no interaction with polar substances.
Nonpolar Bonds
Nonpolar bonds occur between atoms with similar electronegativities, resulting in equal sharing of electrons and no significant charge distribution across the bond.

Final Answer :
It is false, in that several polar covalent bonds pointed in different directions can cancel each other's electronegativity differences out, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
